but now republicans are using a parliment maneuver by dis-allowing senate democrats to block the bill. meaning a bill to repeal the a-c-a will make it to the oval office. this same bill also has measures to defund planned parenthood written in. we are confronting the president with the hard, honest truth. obamacare doesn't work. higher premiums and fewer choices and restricted access, these are not signs of success. obamacare is not successful. they are signs of failure and the american people deserve better jessica rae: presidenenobama has alrerey expressed his intentions to veto the legislation. pointing out 16 million people now have insurance because of the affordable care act, setting new record highs for participation in the last enrollment period. speaker paul ryan plans to schedule a vote to override the president's veto later this month. jessica rae: vermont senator bernie sanders was stumping in las vegas yesterday...

current democratic front runner hillary clinton. hehealked to reporters on why he thinks that. " (sen. bernie sanders/(d) presidential candidate) well i think if you look at some of the polls, recent polls, you have me doing better against people like donald trump than see is. but more importantly, if the voter turn out if low, republicans will win. i think i am the candidate to significantly increase voter turnout. to bring out young people, to bring out working people, to bring out those people who no longer have faith in establishment politics and establishment economics. jessica rae: sanders currently trails clinton by double figures in the latest polls. jessica rae: janet huckabee was campaigning for her husband in sioux city yesterday. the former governor's wife held a meet and greet at yards indoor shooting range and says she and her husband make efforts to reach voters in person, not just through campaign ads and social media. janet huckabee also expressed her opinions on president obama's executive plan for gun control.

" (donald trump/(r) presidential candidate) "i like him a lot. and i n't like the issue. i don't like even bringing it up." it's become a fundamental play in donald trump's playbook....castin g himself as just .."the bearer of bad news." (donald trump/(r) presidential candidate) "there's this doubt. people have doubt. again, this was not my suggestion. i didn't bring this up." dredging up things he's heard . pushing them out into the political ether.. and when pressed to substantiate the claims he's repeated..his

(donald trump/(r) presidential candidate) "he was born in canada."it's a crutch trump has leaned on repeatedly at politically opportune times. (donald trump/(r) presidential candidate) "we had to respond to hillary." bringing up old charges about bill clinton.. tweeti the former esident was once "called a racist" but the proof of that claim, he didn't have.. (savannah guthrie) "are you yourself calling him a racist?" (donald trump/(r) presidential candidate) "no, he was called that by the obama campaign. he was called it loud and clear. he was extremely insulted." (savannah guthrie) "why did you put it in your tweet if you don't believe it?" (donald trump/(r) presidential candidate) "they said it, i didn't say it." another claim made often onhe campaign trail.that he heard president obama a nts to take away americans' guns. (donald trump/(r) presidential candidate) "you know, the president is thinking about signing an executive order where he wants to

but when pressed.. (donald trump/(r) presidential candidate) "i've heard that he wants to. and i heard it, i think, on your network. somebody said that that's what he's thinking about. i didn't say he's signing it. i said i think that would be a plans to build on the mexican- america border. he explains ho mexico will pay for it.

differently. iowa state patorl procedure states, "officers will, whenever possible, seek alternative meths ofof apprehending suspects when it is likely a vehicle pursuit t will occur." trooper john farley says he knows these types situations are dangerous, but he and fellow troopers are well equipped. "not only is every trooper trained at the academy level in pursuit driving and the techniques that go along with it, but then we do every other year...every trooper goes through pursuit driving protocols," said farley. jessica rae: sioux city police department's policy takes another approach by stating... "officers will, whenever possible, seek alternative methods of apprehending susuects when it is likely a vehicle pursuit will occur." if yououappen to witness a pursuit involving law officials... you are advised to stay clear of the area until deemed clear. jessica rae: a construction worker in altoona has died... after a trench collapsed at a housing development. it happened around eight yesterday morning... as a four man crew had just

"so today's move is to close a loop hole so that they don't continue to use the information in a way

has prohibited the state from sharing it for," said matt konenkamp, policy advisor to governor daugaard. "basically we've lost one tool in our tool bag," said vondrak. sioux city police can still obtain south dakota driver information... but now they'll have to call a dispatch office instead. some officials believe it may slow down operations... but sioux city assitant attorney justin vondrak says it won't stop violators from being fined. jessica rae: we have a lane closure to report to you this morning. the inside lane of the southbound lanes of interstate 29 from the wesley parkway interchange to north of pierce street will be closed from 9 a-m to 3 p-m today. so adjust your commute accordingly jessica rae: two states, oregon and california, are making the move to provide some forms of birth control over the counter. the idea is to make it more accessible for women, but there's a lot of concern nationwide about the trend. right now, in siouxland, you have you go to

prescription for controception. it's not only a chance for a doctor to screen you for potential risk factors... but to find the best birth control option for you. dr. danielle hay, from siouxland women's health, says that's one of the concerns... and disadvantages... of getting "the pill" overerhe counter. dr. danielle hay, siouxland women's health says, "there are uatches and rings anshots and long-lasting reversable contraception that might be really great for some people, even better than the over-the- counter pill, and my concern is that you skip that and you go to the pharmacist saying 'i want this,' but you don't know all the options; maybe there's something better out there for you." jessica rae: you still need a prescription to get birth control in all three siouxland states and that doesn't look to change in the near future at l lst. . jessica rae: a siouxland non- profit in the community for over 100 years, is getting a big boost this winter after a recent fundraiser. the 4th annual design & dine event brought in 65-thousand-900 dollars for the crittenton center programs. the event
